In terms of calamity and danger, there has never been a TV show quite like it before.

And even though it left several of its contestants in extreme pain with some life-threatening injuries, The Jump has reportedly been commissioned for a another series.

The Channel 4 show raised eyebrows and sparked concern after eight of its stars were hospitalised last series, but despite all of that it's back for another run and everyone's favourite presenter Davina McCall is back to head up proceedings.

After an investigation into health and safety standards, bosses have decided to recommission it.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "For good and bad reasons The Jump was one of the most talked about shows on television last year. It's the only reality show of its kind -- and it gives it something else compared to other shows.”

The source continued: "The uncertainty and the occasional injury make it all the more interesting. An official announcement will come in due course, but from Channel 4's point of view it's a done deal."

The programme, which sees stars attempt various stunts such as the skeleton, bobsleigh, snowskates and ski cross, came under fire earlier this year when Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle broke her neck while taking part in the show.
